Chapter 80: Japanese Air Raids
"Niang Xipi, look at how Boyuan fights? Look at what kind of battle you're fighting? The two squadrons of the two regiments beat others, and they were driven by others for dozens of miles, you are not ashamed, I blush for you, and I am embarrassed to come to me to ask for credit, get out" The paperweight on the table was thrown over vigorously, and the lieutenant colonel standing in front of the table tilted his head, and the jade paperweight fell to the ground and became halved.
"You are also a person who has been with Boyuan, and you haven't learned his style of play at all?" Chiang Kai-shek hated iron and looked at the straight lieutenant colonel standing there, with fire in his eyes, "I used to always say that your weapons are poor and your equipment is poor, but what I gave you are all American-style equipment that I stole from Boyuan, those large-caliber mortars, even Boyuan gave them to you without allocating them, just an ambush battle was beaten by you like this, what else do you have to say?" "There is nothing to say about the humble position, it is the incompetence of the humble position, don't blame the brothers under him" The emaciated Jiang Jitang was full of grievances, and it was true that Chiang Kai-shek gave them all-American equipment, but those submachine guns were too wasteful of ammunition, and when they pulled the trigger, they ran out of bullets. When the Japanese army was ambushed, the quartermaster still prepared the ammunition according to the previous battle intensity, and the ammunition prepared was exhausted after a short time after the ambush, and if it were not for the brothers who used sapper shovels and grenades to withstand the Japanese charge, I am afraid that half of the two regiments would have to be thrown into the mountains.
The grievances in Jiang Jitang's eyes have already been seen by Chiang Kai-shek, who has been in charge of the national army for many years, how Chiang Kai-shek does not know some bad habits in the national army, but the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek to let this nephew of his own family lead the army is to train him, so even if Chiang Kai-shek knows that the main responsibility for the failure of this ambush is not on Jiang Jitang, he has to harden his heart and reprimand him. If the jade is not cut, the iron cannot be beaten, and the steel cannot be beaten, Chiang Kai-shek is very optimistic about the nephew of this family, so he is a little stricter than others in terms of requirements.
Chiang Kai-shek threw a warrant to Jiang Jitang, "Boyuan's side is ready to fight with the Japanese army, you can take your two regiments to Zhangwu County, remember, you are going to make meritorious contributions, not a minister, don't play petty with Boyuan, Boyuan is a good-looking person, he won't care about you, those people under him are not easy to get along with, you have to follow Boyuan to see more and learn more" After admonishing him, Jiang Jitang was kicked out of the study by Chiang Kai-shek, and Song Meiling, who had been worried, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jichuan is still a child who hasn't grown up, why are you making such a big fuss at him?" Song Meiling gave Chiang Kai-shek a cup of tea with some complaints, so that Chiang Kai-shek could be smooth.
"He's still a kid there, Boyuan is a year younger than him, you look at what Boyuan is doing every day, what is he doing" As soon as Jiang Jitang was mentioned, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but be angry, and his face that had just eased down became bad. The Chiang family does not lack power or financial resources, but after being in contact with Zhao Zhi for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek also wants to create a force that is absolutely obedient to him, just like the mercenary troops under Zhao Zhi. But this Jiang Jitang is really too uncompetitive, with the best soldiers and the best equipment, but he fights this kind of bad battle.
"Okay, okay, let's dissipate the gas first" Song Meiling patted Chiang Kai-shek's back and persuaded with a smile, "You also said that Boyuan is a very special person, although Jichuan is not as good as Boyuan, but he is also outstanding among his peers, this kind of thing is not urgent, you have to take your time"
Chiang Kai-shek's anger had just subsided a little, and as soon as he heard Jiang Jitang's name, he was angry again, "Take your time, there is so much time to give him Lang fee, Boyuan has been planning for so long, once he makes a move, he will not stop, if we can't take advantage of this wind to raise the combat strength of the troops, even if we beat the Japanese, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold those territories, not to mention that the momentum of development in Yan'an is also very fast, if as expected, after the Japanese are gone, we will fight with the CCP sooner or later."
Soong Meiling knew what Chiang Kai-shek was worried about, partisanship existed in any country, and the Song family had inevitably participated in this whirlpool since they helped Sun Yat-sen. China has never lacked people in power, the three emperors and five emperors began, Chinese almost all the wisdom used to infighting, Chiang Kai-shek is a hard-working man, he wants China to be strong, but he is only the nominal controller of China, those local factions that support the army and respect themselves will never really be sincere to the central government, and they can't complain that Chiang Kai-shek will want to have a real army of his own.
Sending troops of the national army to Zhao Zhi has always been a matter of Chiang Kai-shek's calculations in his heart, and he does not expect Zhao Zhi to help him seize the territory and return it to the central control, he just wants his elite troops to learn more subtle tactical literacy from Zhao Zhi. The original Spark plan, it was just Chiang Kai-shek testing the waters, the purpose was to test whether the set that Zhao Zhi made in the training camp worked, and it turned out that Chiang Kai-shek's decision was correct, so there was a matter of Chiang Kai-shek shoehorning Zhao Zhi into the 30,000-strong national army reinforcement regiment, and now, Chiang Kai-shek needs Zhao Zhi to create an army of his own for himself.
Zhao Zhi, who was still in Zhangwu County, did not know that both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had sent elite troops to march towards him, and at this moment Chiang Kai-shek was standing in front of him, and he was afraid that Zhao Zhi would not have time to deal with it, because Zhao Zhi was at Qinglongping Airport at the moment, and was responding to the upcoming air raid by the Japanese air force. After the German-aided fighter group arrived at Qinglongping Airport, Zhao Zhi simply moved his headquarters to the airport, which was also what Rowling meant, the airport heavily guarded by the Jewish Legion looked far safer than the county seat.
Just after breakfast, Zhao Zhizheng accompanied Rowling to walk around the airport, the alert jeep painted red suddenly rushed out of the reserve and sounded the alarm on the car, just 20 seconds ago, a radar station located in Qingshiyu, 20 miles away, came with the news, flying objects appeared in the northeast and southeast directions, but it is not clear how many of them, but what can be determined is that it is not the Thunder fighter. The sharp alarm of the jeep sounded at Qinglongping Airport, and all the personnel in the airport rushed to their posts after a moment's pause.
"Quick, quick, the fighters are in the air, and the bombers are covered with camouflage nets" The fighter pilots quickly rushed out of the mission room and rushed to the runway in a swarm. The red and blue sticks in the hands of the ground crew waved to signal the prepared fighters to take off immediately, Qinglongping Airport has a total of six runways, which can lift no less than 30 fighters into the air within a minute, and there are currently 160 fighters in the airport, that is, within 6 minutes, these fighters can all be lifted into the air.
Emergency response is Zhao Zhi at the beginning of the construction of the airport has been emphasized many times, for this Zhao Zhi also formulated a set of implementation rules, the warning car issued an air raid alarm fighter plane at the same time, the door of the airport reserve was also slowly opened, the airport guard began to cover the entire Qinglongping Airport with the camouflage net in the reserve. The 2,000-strong guard force was divided into 20 teams in the emergency response procedure, and they all had their own areas of responsibility, and Zhao Zhi gave them the order that after the air raid sirens sounded at the airport, the first thing they had to do was to cover their respective areas of responsibility with the camouflage net of the reserve depot within ten minutes.
"Sir, please come with us, we will go to the air-raid shelter now" When the alarm sounded, a team of heavily armed mercenaries found Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin, although the emergency response at the airport has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the fighters in Qinglongping Airport have all taken off, but the people of the mercenary force are still not worried about the safety of Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin, so they insist on escorting Zhao Zhi to retreat into the air defense bunker of the airport and wait for the air raid to pass.
"Let's go, don't embarrass everyone" As soon as Zhao Zhi's eyes narrowed, Rowling persuaded softly, and dragged Zhao Zhi onto the truck that drove over with a smile. "You've already handed over the airport to Megan, don't stretch your hand so long, you have to trust Megan, he's your own fancier" Rowling stroked Zhao Zhi's vest with her hand. Qinglongping Airport is Zhao Zhi's hard work, Luo Lin knows that Zhao Zhi is not reluctant to let go, he is just a little worried, this is the first time Qinglongping Airport has been attacked by air raids.
The Japanese fighters came from two places, Shijiazhuang Airport in Hebei Province and Hanzhong Airport in Hubei Province, and the two air brigades had more than 60 escort fighters and more than 30 bombers. The intelligence source of the Japanese army was still three days ago, when there were only 50 fighters and 7 bombers in Qinglongping Airport, and the purpose of the Japanese army's move was only to completely destroy Qinglongping Airport, so the main task of the Japanese fighters was to find an opportunity to entangle the fighter group that Thunder might take into the air, and find an opportunity and time for the bombers to blow up Qinglongping Airport.
"Suwon, your squad is responsible for clearing the air defense positions outside the airport, Mayuan, you take your squad to divert the opponent's fighters, buy us time, and the bomber group is ready to drop bombs" was about to arrive at the location mentioned in the intelligence of the special high school, and the voice of the commander of the operation sounded in the headphones of the pilots of the Japanese fighter group.
The commanders of the attack were Mikasa and Nakasa, who were from Hanzhong airfield. After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, Mikasa Kazucai was ordered to be stationed at Hanzhong Airport, and the last time the fire squad and Japanese fighters fought in Chongqing, Mikasa and happened to go to Hebei to cooperate with the garrison to clear the anti-Japanese forces, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to meet the so-called Agni flying team.
